Here´s what I have found so far:

1. As a matter of fact lemon-water does taste really nice. It´s been five days, and I can absolutely see myself integrating having a lemon freshly squeezed with warm water into my daily routine.
2. The first three days I felt hungry earlier than usual during the morning than what I would normally do. BUT, normally I would start the day by drinking up to 1L pure water without lemon juice, which I assume would have contributed to the feeling of satiation.
3. I had some breakouts after two days of lemonwater, which I usually do not have problems with. However, I am not a follower of the belief that change of food/drink intake can affect the clearness of your skin within a matter of days. The only change I believe becomes visible sort of immediately is the drinking of water which would have an immediate effect of the hydration/plumpness of all cells in the body. Which by the way is really the foundation of all anti-aging/beauty enhancing attempts. Drinking enough water is so vital to every system in the body, I cannot emphasize this fact enough. I might actually come back to this topic and write a longer post about it.
4. An indirect benefit of using lots of lemons is that one ends up with lots of sqeezed lemon peels. And those are a fantastic addition to my daily beauty routine.
   
    
    And here is why: Lemon (Latin name: Citrus Limon) contains lots of citric acid (makes sort of sense thinking about the name). Citric acid is what chemists would call an alhpa-hydroxy-acid, or AHA. (I might write a separate poste about this as well) AHA´s have been very popular in the cosmetic world as so called chemical peels. The reason for this is the fact that AHA´s have the power to hydrolyze (chemically breake) the bonds that hold our skin cells connected togetgher. I am making extra use of my squeezed lemon peels by using them as a scrub for my feet, knees and elbows, where they mildly support my use of pumice or scrubs and leave the skin soft and naturally peeled.
